You're paying for the design, the history, and a well-built shoe. The "Nike Air Jordan 6" isn't trying to be something it's not. It's a classic, and it executes that role perfectly. If you connect with the style, you won't be disappointed. So, should you cop? If you've always wanted an Air Jordan 6, this 'Infrared' is arguably the one to get. It's the definitive colorway. For $200 USD, you're getting a piece of iconic design. Just go in knowing what to expect: amazing style, good quality, but a classic, firm feel. For me, it's a yes. On feet, the design just works. The Infrared colorway is iconic for a reason - it looks great in person and on camera. The perforations and those plastic lace locks add so much detail. Compared to, say, a Jordan 1, the Air Jordan 6 has a much bulkier, 90s basketball silhouette. It's a statement piece, not a sleek, low-profile sneaker. On feet, the design really pops. The 'Infrared' hits on the midsole and lace lock are so vibrant in person. The high-cut design makes your legs look good. Compared to, say, an Air Jordan 1, the AJ6 has way more of a 90s basketball profile. It's a statement piece for sure, not a low-key sneaker.
